David B. Leblang

David Bruce Leblang of Wayland died on May 30, 2017 at age 61. Originally from NY, he grew up in West Hartford, CT. He is survived by his loving wife of 37 years, Nancy Webb Leblang, and their two daughters, Amy and Erica, as well as his father Paul Leblang of Greenwich, CT, brother Mark Leblang and his wife Trish of Tulsa, OK, sister Ellen (Leblang) Petrocci and her husband David of Fairfax, VA, and beloved cousins Robin (Danziger) Ross and Steven Danziger. He was predeceased by his mother, Joan (Korengold) Leblang. David was a proud alumnus of The Loomis Chaffee School in Connecticut where he developed his love of science. He went on to study at MIT, graduating in 1978 with a degree in computer science. After working at Digital Equipment Corp and Apollo Computer, he co-founded Atria Software, and held several patents. In his youth, he enjoyed skiing and met his future wife on a ski trip at age 14. Later in life, he expanded his hobby of astronomy by building an observatory dome in his back yard. He enjoyed family vacations on Nantucket and Cape Cod.  Despite health issues, his sense of humor never faded or became less corny.
